Holidaymakers travelling abroad may contract a range of illness’s that can ruin
their holiday experience. Campylobacter is one of the infections

Illness can strike within 2-5 days of exposure and the symptoms
can last between a week and ten days.

A stool sample is required for the diagnosis of Campylobacter which
should be sought from doctor at your hotel or back in the UK from your GP. If you
have contracted the infection then it is likely that you will make a full recovery.
It is important to keep hydrated for as long as any diarrhoea symptoms persist.
Antibiotics may be administered in the more severe cases.

raw poultry and meat or the consumption of raw or improperly cooked
poultry and meat whilst on holiday. Infection cases are usually single or multiple
episodes at holiday hotels.

Are the hotel staff following good hand hygiene practices and ensuring their hands
are clean?
